This recently renovated two-bedroom terraced cottage on Castle Street offers low-maintenance, turn-key accommodation in the centre of Northam. The ground floor has flexible living space with a cozy living room complete with a wood-burning stove, a second reception room for dining or work, and a bright, high‑ceilinged kitchen with twin VELUX roof lights and fitted appliances.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in storage, and a contemporary ground-floor shower room with a walk‑in double enclosure. A fully enclosed courtyard garden provides a private, small outdoor space that is easy to maintain—ideal for short‑let guests or owners who prefer minimal garden upkeep.
The property is offered chain free on freehold tenure and has been run successfully as an Airbnb, so it suits an investor seeking an immediate income stream or a buyer wanting a compact, ready-to-live-in town cottage. Practical points to note: the building is a pre-1900 granite-built mid-terrace and external data suggests the original walls likely have no added insulation, which could affect energy performance and future heating costs.
Location is a genuine selling point: Castle Street sits within easy walking distance of local shops, the pub and everyday amenities, with low local crime and no flood risk. On the downside, the road is narrow with limited on-street parking and the neighbourhood scores higher on deprivation indices, which may influence long-term rental demand and capital growth compared with more affluent areas.
